Mary Williamson's (The Fly Honey Show) mom said, "Nature is our church," and Mary echoes that sentiment when talking about offering up her skull as worm food. She also tells me about a dreamy childhood vacation spot she would freeze in time and the arrest that shifted her perspective on privilege.

Check out the extended episode at patreon.com/davemaher, which includes more in-depth talk about the Fly Honeys and representation, plus Mary's "Funeral Planning" segment.
